Personally I think the Kreigsmarine would have been better served had they not bothered trying to switch to the revolutionarry type XXI which they just DID NOT HAVE THE TIME to develop properly and had instead built the type VIIC/42 which was a type VIIC with extra fuel, torpedoes and thicker pressure hull. The VIIC/42 would have been the deepest diving yet, and would have had a faster dive time than the regular type VIIC, and it would not have taken as long to get into service. It was a common fault that Germany had in general in ww2 that in their quest to have the BEST equipment they never built enough of the types that already worked, and ended up with hundreds of small experimental classes most of which were never ready in time.
